Want to use this on its side with a pad on top for an entryway bench, to sit on to put on shoes. Is this sturdy enough? High enough?

I definitely would not use it that way. but it is great for shoes in a closet.

Yes. I think so. It's not too high. It has nonslip rubber on top and on the feet and its very sturdy. also lightweight and easily moved around.

It's pretty sturdy but I suppose it would depend on how level the ground is and your own balance. I use it more for kneeling and being able to get up easier.

It doesn't seem very sturdy to sit in, but it is great as a shelf/shoe rack. I love mine.

The bench has to be assembled and is sturdy. Remember that you raise the seat to put things inside. I would contact the manufacturer and ask the question. We purchased a separate outdoor waterproof cushion to put on top - if you do that - remember to measure accurately the area for the cushion.

We have this bench at the bottom of our bed, and sit on it to put on socks and shoes, etc. My husband is over 200 pounds and it is not a problem. We use the interior for extra blankets.

Yes but do you want to use it for a bench? It would not be very comfortable. It is very sturdy which is why I paid more for it.. It is great and looks as good as it is functional.

Nope - this is pretty sturdy. I use it as a platform for paperwork next to the standup desk i bought that holds 2 mojitos & a keyboard.

I think it would be fine for that purpose. It comes rather flat, before it may actually need to be used, and so wouldn't be a hazard to step over. If it's unseen behind a door, for that 'just in case,' it should work well.

It will be fairly sturdy just note that it will not sit up against a wall because the feet are at least 9 inches on either side probably more.

It appears to be sturdy enough, but is likely mounted too high up on the chair to be used as a step up by a toddler. It could be a tip hazard if used for that purpose.

It's probably sturdy enough, but it is kind of bulky. Check the dimensions before you make your decision.

My husband is 200 lbs and sits on it to put on his shoes. It seems to be pretty sturdy. I hope this helps.

Daria, The sides are not solid, it's a cube covered with leather. It seems to be very sturdy, and is strong enough to use as a foot rest.

I wouldn't recommend standing on it, it's not that sturdy. And there's no opening to store something inside. it's best to use as a seat for a smaller person or ottoman. I brought mine to work and put it under my desk to get my legs elevated and to give me something I can kneed my toes in :-)

yes very sturdy..was my concern too..because my Patio is tiled and uneven in some places....THIS IS GOOD ON ALL LEVELS, I guess you can say "top Heavy" makes it work very well

It's built pretty sturdy. I didn't have any issues. Not sure how much weight you'd need to support, but 2-3 people can sit on it at the same time. I have it in my mudroom, so everyone lands on it when they need to put shoes on...
